Tasty Turkey Burgers

This might be one of my most favourite recipes for the grill! The flavour of the apple, celery, onion and lime juice work so well with the turkey. Go bun-less and top your burgers with hummus, tomato slices and fresh sprouts!

Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples peeled & diced
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- 3 ribs celery finely diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 egg whisked
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
- 4 shakes Worcestershire sauce
- sea salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté apple, onion & celery. Set aside and cool before mixing into meat. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Mixture will be moist but will hold together much better if you refrigerate the patties for ½ hour before grilling. Serve with hummus & fresh tomato. Makes about 7 patties.
Notes
To add an some extra flavour to your burger, saute the onions, apple, celery and garlic until the produce begins to caramelize. I often do this step in the morning before I leave for work, or the night before so that the mixture has time to cool before incorporating into the meat.

These sound delish Amy; we’ll try them this weekend.
Thanks so much Janet! I hope they turned out well for you!
Hi Amy
This looks good I’m going to try it. Wondering about the oatmeal? Can that be rolled oats? What could you replace the oatmeal with if needed? Thanks!
Hello Alex – these burgers are so yummy! You can use rolled oats or bread crumbs. I use the oats because it does the trick of holding the burgers together as well as adding a little extra fibre. I have also made the recipe with bread crumbs and it turned out great too. Enjoy!
